BLUER FISHER, OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA.

FRUIT-TREE PROP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11, 1909.

Application filed January 14, 1909. Serial No. 472,293.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BLUER FISHER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Anaheim, in the county of Orange and State of California,have invented a new and useful Fruit-Tree Prop, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fruit tree props fitted withadjustable hooks, and the objects of my improvement are, first, toprovide a hook that does not injure the tree; and second to provide ahook consider ably cheaper than any now in use.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in which the figure is a view of a prop fitted with theadjustable hook.

A is a prop the bottom of which rests on the ground when in use.

B is a strip of wood connected with A by the wire 0 which is tightlywound around B then fastened around A, leaving sufficient space for theinsertion of D, substantially as shown in the drawing.

D is a block of wood inserted between A and B and is used to support thelimb of the tree.

To adjust the hook the block D is removed, the strip B moved to anydesired height on the prop A, when I) is inserted and the limb to bepropped is rested on D between A and B.

I am aware that prior to my invention fruit tree props fitted withadjustable hooks have been made. I therefore do not claim such acombination broadly; but

I claim:

The combination, with a prop, of a wooden strip, a wire wound around thestrip then fastened around the prop, and a wooden block inserted betweenthe strip and the prop, substantially as specified, for the purpose setforth.

BLUER FISHER.
